The Goal Of Playing In The Band Is To Meet The Ladies
The Oxford Dictionaries defines the word"Temptation"as;"A desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise."
or"A thing or course of action that attracts or tempts someone."
Something happened to me today that hasn't happened to me in over35 years. Maybe I should give some background first before I expose my whole story.As a wannabe writer,I was told not to give out how old I am.People in thePublishing Businesshave stated that,until you are established,let your readers imagine how you would be like in person.A preconceived notion that someone might not be able to relate to younger audiences,because they don't understand what young people are going through in life while they are growing up is ludicrous.Maybe the person I was talking to was trying to save my feelings from being hurt, by side tracking me with that last statement?What he really wanted to tell me is;"I am truly sorry James, but we can't take a picture of you where we can photo-shop your looks into something closely resembling a good looking human being!"Thirty-five years ago I played bass guitar in a number of loud,mostly in tune,Rock N' Roll Bandsin the State of Wisconsin.
The goal of playing at"Live Venues"was never to becomeRich & Famous,the goal was always to drink free beer,make a few extra bucks on the weekend,and to meet the ladies.Even a local"Rock Band,"has what all musicians strive for.Groupies!Fast forwarding to today,like most citizens of theUnited States,I was invited to aMemorial Day Party.I wasn't going there to get drunk,or make a few bucks for the weekend.I went there just to socialize with people.Walking into the place,my Host greeted me inside his kitchenand seemed to be overzealous about announcing who I was.It turns out he finally purchased my eBook;No Return Address and thought it was sensational.A woman,a beautiful woman,in her late thirties was in the kitchen when this all came about.After all the hoopla died down,she made a bee-line straight towards meand struck up a conversation with me.It was the first time,since playing in"The Band,"thirty-five years ago,that a women freely gave me her telephone number,and I didn't have to make an effort to get it!I am sixty years old now,and I don't imagine I will act on her invitation,since my wife would kill her,but the most important thing here is,
I've got a groupie. I've got a groupie.
It is so good to be loved by the fans once again!
And,
“As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.”
- John Lennon -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
